@Mikey856 a glorified mix of minigames really. It's fun for the first 5 times. Only fun with friends IMO. Also only fun when you are an imposter
You are basically on a map as a crew doing your jobs (minigames) and one or two ppl are imposters and you have to get to the end sabotaging and killing your crew and acting innocent while everyone votes off who they think are the imposters
Meanwhile his internal email will read something like, "Ha! They are now weak" blah blah blah, "time to strike", something about Xbox being superior, blah blah blah, "Let's buy PS while we can"
@QuietintheCorner @Powerplay94 I don't get easily scared but those first person house, hospital parts got to me and that was within the first 5 hours. Returnal either scared me or wowed me throughout and I think that's why it resonates with me so much. I feel some emotion every minute of gameplay through atmosphere alone. I always have to give that game its props
@tehKAMI no problem! Also I'd recommend skipping any anime filler, especially the tsukiyomi dreams. It's not worth your time let me be honest 😂
Watch the end of Shippuden (canon episodes), then start boruto anime. With Boruto I'd only recommend watching the anime canon (not actual canon but good enough) and the manga canon episodes (they're so good).
Something tells me the games will never separate Boruto from Naruto, too many fans that only like Naruto. But the manga has pretty much said "okay this second part is a Boruto story" and everyone is loving it so far. Boruto is such a different character to Naruto and I like that they're not scared to separate and focus on the new gen.
@blecch ?????? What on earth are you talking about
Kevin was played by an actor on PS adverts. He was not CEO and it didn't stop the PS3 from performing poorly for most of its lifecycle due to an arrogant approach from Sony that the PS3 would do well automatically off the success of the PS2
Everyone should set up their Google account to search for compromised passwords. I haven't had any passwords associated with Sony breached but it's worth doing amidst all this
Watching chronically online ppl comment on the leadership of a billion dollar company as if they know better is funny. He did an amazing job in the midst of an ever changing landscape, a COVID pandemic, chip shortages, industry consolidation, subscription wars, increased production times and costs and many many other factors that many didn't and won't have to deal with.
He may not be the best CEO to have lived with his tunnel visioning on GAAS, lack of big moments that y'all use to characterise people, horrendous communication and a lesser focus on those smaller games with charm, but he did well.
My only wish from the next CEO is that we see more focus on smaller, less costly games. Not everything needs to be 40-80 hours please.
And remember, Mr Ryan is human. The hate this man gets from just showing face is almost as bad as Maguire gets. We need to treat each other better, constructive criticism should be practiced more
@RestMode12 I think they're too big, when playing HZD I just felt like I was playing a ubisoft game where, yes there's a story and side stuff but it's all too big and overwhelming
@lightningbolt79 people have been saying this since the PS5 was announced, then the next thing comes and they say "I have no hype for PS beyond X game"
All doom and gloom until the next thing pops up. Everyone has the shortest attention span, the smallest backlog and the neediest needs.
But yes they do need to show us some gamesssss, I would like a nice variety of single and multi-player games
@tehKAMI Boruto has not a lot of content. Monthly releases have made it that way. The story is basically at where Naruto part 1 ended, so not very far along. I'd recommend it though because since Kishimoto took over, it has ben sensational, hit after hit with each chapter.
The second part, Two Blue Vortex has just come in, it's at its second chapter and it has been amazing so far. Its a shame because its been running for what 5 years and very little consistency was reached until the Kara arc (3 years in).
The anime also being mostly filler has led to Boruto having a terrible reputation, but its manga is actually really good. Plus the Naruto name is just going to sell, too many Naruto fans
@Godot25 right, so ignore everything that was written and praised about the game because your opinion is correct. Got it.
Some friendly AI behaviours were annoying but the enemy AI, the way they looked for you, the way your buddies helped in combat, the actual realism and endurance the combat added, scarcity of ammo, melee, puzzles, exploration were highly praised. I remember because it's what drove me to get a copy. And the internet exists so you can easily look it up to corroborate your opinion. We can all sit there and do revisionism like you are but I don't consider that to be productive.
@Godot25 The gameplay and AI at the time were heavily praised which is why the game as a whole was so impactful. Obviously a whole 10 years later and copied by many games, the gameplay is average at best now
@IslandLogic what makes TLOU special?? It kinda shaped a whole genre of games. The story and gameplay resonated with so many people it was claimed as GAME OF ITS GENERATION. I really don't have to say more. I don't see it as that but you cannot deny the impact it had and still has
@REALAIS yeah you are right. When I say strange I was overlooking the predatory intentions for sure. Just sad how EA have gradually ruined and stripped content from every franchise they have got their hands on. Yes, Sims was always DLC heavy but at least the base games were actually fun. Sims 1 was barren but 2 and 3 were by far some of the best gaming experiences to be had. And they all had more features than Sims 4 ships with.
Sad thing is Sims 5 will probably be successful because its 'free'.
@Marquez I'm going to have to follow you on that. You've picked a real uphill battle there haha, poor Everton. 25 years into my Paris FC journey, European supremacy here we go!
@get2sammyb I agree its strange to support Sims 4 as IMO its not worth continuing the support as its not like it was a GREAT game.
I disagree though on your point its unplayable. Been playing it for months on PS5 with my partner as she loves the Sims and the worst we've experienced were some minor stutters when building a house. I hate how segmented it is compared to Sims 3 and the loading screens but it even runs better than its predecessor. It is also ridiculous that EA continues to sell so much DLC for it at absurd prices. My least favourite Sims game by far but definitely not unplayable and doesn't even run as bad as you say
With annual releases like this I find it so challenging to just start afresh especially knowing that 80% of everything will be the same as last year. And these games require so much set up for you to really enjoy and FEEL like a Football Manager. At least this time around it's got a new match engine. Yes I am a clown
No I get that, just one's a big muscley alien (Venom) and the other is just Spider-Man in a black symbiote suit. I don't think it's THAT similar as they look very different but I get that not everyone is going to know the difference. When you play it though I'm sure you'll start to understand the differences and be able to tell them apart for yourself
@nessisonett I would say its due to the Amazing Spider-man movies. Those costumes had such a huge gritty technological focus. Insomniac's rhino is so close to that of TASM 2
@Yusuo in what you are describing you aren't venom, you're Peter with symbiote abilities coming from Venom.
Venom is the big ass muscley tongue demon. Venom is usually bonded with Eddie Brock (the perfect symbiote), in this game I think its Harry. Spider-man rarely ever becomes Venom in the comics because he is strong enough to not let it take over him. However, it usually embodies him when it tries to bond with him and gives him that black suit and the symbiote abilities, if that makes sense
@DETfaninATL honestly. I remember when I saw the white spider, I was probably one of the few people in the world that liked it immediately and the designs for shocker, doc ock, mr negative were all brilliant. Insomniac did a great job
I see the media tab on this. I've tried remote play on media apps before and it just shows a black screen. Surely this won't be the case here? Otherwise :/
@Bez87 I agree but prices will just go up and up. Next thing you know after it's gone from £50 to £60 they're increasing it to £70. I don't care about value for money, tell me what about getting 3 free games a month plus multiplayer access justifies that increase
@The_ghostmen yeah I'd switch to a high end PC in a heartbeat 😂
Start of this gen I was arguing that there won't be a point in the next 5 years where we'd get PS exclusives on PC within 3 years of release and I used that to justify me getting and keeping a PS5. I was so wrong. Get a PC. Save up £2k or whatever it is. It's always been the ultimate gaming experience and with all Xbox games on PC day 1, new PS5 games being developed for PC and PS5, it makes sense now to hop on.
So yes my friend, I will upgrade my PC and just use that when my PS5 dies. It's just not really worth it anymore
@Fiendish-Beaver I know we all love gaming and are borderline addicted to it, maybe past the point of addiction. But we need to stop. We have been getting jerked left right and centre by this industry, especially in the last few years. And it's only going to get worse. We all need to vote with our wallets. Daylight robbery literally
